Holzmauer nochmal aus Brennholz bauen

[email protected] In the last video, we spent days sawing logs for our slope stabilization project – this time it's getting serious: The 22-meter-long retaining wall is getting its final wood infill. Instead of firewood, we're creating solid planks for a stable and cost-effective solution for slope stabilization. We'll explain step by step how we cut 15 cm wide and 30 cm high beams from thick spruce logs, why these dimensions are practical, and how we get the most material out of each log. It's not just about sawing, but also about planning, logistics, and byproducts like boards for other projects. Especially important: We deliberately leave gaps between the layers of wood so that rainwater can run off and the wood can dry. We also protect the back with dimpled membrane against moisture from the ground. This should ensure the wall lasts as long as possible, even in clay soil and heavy rain. At the same time, we're building a sturdy staircase for our animals. For this, we build extra-wide wooden steps, which are set into iron supports and additionally anchored in the ground with ground anchors. This prevents the steps from shifting forward or sinking. We use angle irons for the edges to prevent the spruce from immediately breaking and to provide better footing for the animals when it's wet. Of course, not everything goes smoothly: A fully loaded tracked dumper slips, heavy planks cause bruised fingers, and the small excavator struggles in the clay soil. But that's all part of the process for us – practical experience, improvisation, and solutions using simple means. Of course, not everything goes smoothly: A fully loaded tracked dumper slips, heavy planks cause bruised fingers, and the small excavator has a hard time in the clay soil.
